{Asymmetrical Variance} = fitness training technique which taps into the body’s natural movement patterns *instead* of forcing it to move in un-natural ways, usually seen in common health clubs – especially on typical exercise machines
In this recent video, me and Belinda Benn demonstrate 5 AV body-weight, upper-body exercises. I do the advanced version and she then does the intermediate version of each move.
The 5 AV Exercises Are:
1 – AV Inverted Row
2 – AV Dips
3 – AV Shoulder Press
4 – AV Push-ups
5 – AV Pull-ups

Ok – So, What’s the Big Deal About Asymmetrical Variance?
Asymmetrical Variance (AV) taps into the body’s natural multi-dimensional movement patterns instead of forcing it into rigid, 2-dimensional movements which is typical of conventional gym equipment and generic fitness routines.
AV creates deeper and faster muscle stimulation to produce changes to your body in shorter amounts of time – and with less stress and strain on your body. AV allows you to take a basic body-weight exercise, such as the push-up; for example – and then apply the principle of natural AV body movements to create several exercise variations of that one body-weight exercise.
With the variety in muscle pattern movement and fiber recruitment – the training effect happens with less training volume and less repetition of similar movements. So, for what you’d get out of a typical ‘weights & machines’ type workout in 7 or 8 sets – you’d accomplish in 3 or 4 sets via AV training (and, with less repetitions too).
Less reps and sets means shorter workout times and major reductions in joint aches and overuse injuries. All while getting results in shorter time spans.
Yes – VERY sweet…
Got some thoughts or comments about the video or the AV Technique of fitness training? Then post below, please…
You may remember, just over a year ago, I introduced you to a new friend, Belinda Benn. Since then we’ve developed a powerful friendship and synergistic working relationship…
Not long after we crossed paths, Bel started working on a BIG project – and asked me for some assistance along the way. Our complementary philosophies and styles made it a natural fit.
She Reveals Her Secret
What she has done over the last 10 months is something most people would never even attempt to acheive – BUT, her passion to help others and her own personal transformation are so powerful, it would’ve be an absolute sin for her to keep this all a secret.
Watch the video below to hear her reveal part of her amazing “Aging In Reverse” story and then go here to see the amazing photos with the other 6 stories of “Aging In Reverse” INCLUDING Bel’s own younger sister, Alison. The before and after photos start about 1/4 down the page – BUT do NOT miss Bel’s “before photos toward the top – so you can actually see the proof of “Aging In Reverse”, starting with her own personal example..
See you here – and please share today’s blog post with anyone you know who can use the inspiration and helpful information.
Your Trainer for Life,
– Joey Atlas
ps – if you have any questions for Bel, please feel free to post them here for her: http://www.BelsBodyBlog.com
Today I give YOU 3 gifts to celebrate my 42nd Birthday:
1 – a fresh piece of wisdom 2 – a super-sweet discount code 3 – a mega-powerful fitness flashback
First the wisdom:
As my life progresses – the things which are most important to me become more and more clear. And I honor those things as best can by feeding them and nurturing them the best ways I know how.
One of the things which has become extremely important to me is… my time.
I’ve made a consistent effort to objectively look at all the ways I spend my time and energy. And I’ve made note of the various things which are time-wasters and energy drains. And then I’ve created simple steps to reduce or eliminate those things…
Within one year – I have freed up so much time and energy; both physical AND MENTAL – that I actually feel stronger, healthier, happier, more fulfilled and MORE IN CONTROL of my life and my circumstances…
Here’s an example:
I’ve put most of my monthly bills on autopay. This means they get paid automatically. No work or time on my part. I simple do a “quick-look” view twice a month to make sure nothing fishy is going on. …Big TIME and ENERGY saver.
That is just the tip of the ice-berg but I’m sure if you read it again, and think about it – you’ll begin to make sense of what I’m sharing.
This is a bigger topic for another day – maybe even a whole podcast series – but; whichever way I cut it – it has been, and is, powerfully life-changing for me… In a VERY positive way. ..Maybe it can be for you too?
Second – the super-sweet discount code (and why you may want to use it):
The code is: bday15
And it is to celebrate Jayson’s daughter’s birthday (yep – same as mine!! by giving you 15% off anything in the prograde store. You might want to use it for what I’ve just added to my nutritional regimen:
This time of year gets VERY busy for me with lots of soccer for the kids and beach time just a week or two away… This means it’s time to implement my time-saving strategies I mention above. And this is one of them…
On days when I can get to all the fruits and veggies I would like to – I simple make sure I get one serving of my Big Green Secret Weapon in – and I’m good to go. Like gold.
I usually do it in the morning right after my espresso and it actually helps to shift my food calories to later in the day – helping me to get leaner and more “toned” for our very long and fun summer/beach season here in northern Florida.
1 look at the All-Natural ingredients label and you’ll know why this is part of my overall “plan”:
DISCOUNT CODE: bday15
In my 20’s I wouldn’t have bothered with this type of supplement – but know that I’m into the 40’s – it’s a perfect fit for what my body needs – for my active lifestyle – and for how much more life I am planning to live in the future.
If you want to see the rest of my nutritional support regimen – I’ve made it a part of my third gift to you:
The mega-powerful fitness flashback – which is my birthday post from one year ago:
1: The first thing we have for you is “the video which almost wasn’t”.
Let me explain very quickly. As word of The MAG-Factor 2012 Release spreads around the world – it is also hitting close to home here. So, the Physical Education Director at our local elementary school asked if I would come talk to the entire 3rd grade about the principles of the MAG-Factor. I agreed, of course, as kids need all the positive influence they can be exposed to – especially when it comes to health and fitness.
So – the night before I was scheduled to give the presentation – I was on skype with Belinda and she said; “Joey, you should video tape this and share it with all your subscribers, both for themselves and their children.”
I agreed, it was a brilliant idea. So I charged my cam that night and recorded the MAG presentation I gave for the 3rd Graders. And thanks to Bel’s great idea – you get to watch it here and share it with whoever you wish to pass it along to. Adults, kids, whoever you wish…
2: Jack was up until 3am last night working very intensely on one of the most critical parts of your MAG-Factor Fitness System.
I watched the early demo of it first thing this morning and I was blown away – thinking to myself; “This is what nobody has – yet EVERYBODY needs. When everyone sees this is the foundation of the MAG System they are going to know in a flash that all their prayers have been answered…”
We will have your demo video of this ready and posted within the next few days – so keep your eyes on your inbox. You’ll want to see this – no matter what. And until we send you that update – we want to have some fun with you….
3 – Fun is an essential part of enjoying life to the ‘Max’, so let’s have some fun here…
The first person to guess (or come closest to) what the next MAG-Factor update video is going to reveal, gets a $25 Amazon.com gift card (HINT: it’s one of the critical tools we are building as part of your MAG-Factor Fitness system).
AND – the 3 people with the best guesses/ideas (which might be built into the MAG system) will each, also, get a $25 Amazon.com gift card.
SO – post your guesses below and let us know what YOU think the next update video is going to feature as a a critical part of The MAG-Factor Fitness System. The 4 Amazon.com gift certificates are up for grabs right now!
